The Actin Cytoskeleton as a Barrier to Virus Infection of Polarized Epithelial Cells
Many diverse viruses target a polarized epithelial monolayer during host invasion. The polarized epithelium is adept at restricting the movement of solutes, ions, macromolecules, and pathogens across the mucosa. This regulation can be attributed to the presence of a junctional complex between adjace...
